If it can be done successfully within Finale then why not do it?

Oh, lighten up! I only began using Robert's Copyist plugin myself
recently, and up until then I was happily using the same method as you
were (except when I use Special Parts Extraction. If the score allows
it easily (say, when there are a lot of instruments playing at the same
time, or if

Gerry,
I don't see a problem with any of these. Firstly I assume you mean
'Extract' the parts rather than export (which you can do for MIDI files
and ain't the same).
For instrument names on all pages try this:
File Menu - Extract parts - Options - Create Staff or Group names
Here you can
One of the functions of my Copyist Helper plugin is to address the issue
of staff instrument names in extracted parts. In the score copy from
which you extract the parts you create template headers that contain
some arbitrary placeholder text like $$$Staffname. (You define the
placeholder

What I do is to have a small header in the center of every page of my

easy matter to add something like -- Instrument to the header that's
already there.
Yes, now we've come full
There is another work around for this, and it is what I'd call
automated - in the sense that you can apply the extract to a complete
score of parts.
Put in your score a text block on page 1 with a text insert of 'File
name' selected. Set it up with your larger or unique font settings for
your
Hey guys,
Get Copyists Helper, already! Seriously. These workarounds are
clever, I'll admit, but none of them approach the simplicity and
usefulness of Robert's plugin.

Hi David,
You do have to run the plug-in following part extraction, but it's
still much more automated than editing all the staff name headers by
hand. You need only run it once, and it will fill in the staff name
headers for all open documents.

Whenever I write an arrangement and then create parts via export, I
spend (unnecessary?) time tweaking the individual parts. Specifically,
how do I--
--have the name of the instrument appear on all pages following p. 1.
--keep spacing of systems consistent after p. 1
--make page breaks appear

Actually, there is: Robert Patterson's Copyists Helper plugin. It will
